    Once again I compete in sq comps and have talked alot of sq judges.It is true that bass is omnidirectional.however,the human ear can hear down to 20-30 hz and since you can hear it you can tell what direction it originates from.the whole concept of a sq vehicle is to reproduce a recording as accurate as possible. When was the last concert you went to where the subwoofers were behind you?there have been sucessful sq vehicles with subs in front and back. I'm saying in the perfect world subs should be mounted in front of you. Also Biggs 10 sub was not installed to just fool the judges but the mounting grill for his kickpanels were.If you want to install subs in your door , do it.there are plenty of people in the car audio world that are followers and not leaders.You are never going to know what something sounds like without trying it. 10-15 years ago almost no one used ported spl enclosures now almost everyone does.there would of been the same people here telling you then not to use a large ported box with a ton of port area because it won't be loud it be just be a Infinite baffle install. It's always nice to get other peoples opinion but you need to also sometimes say what the hell.

    Hello,

    In my avalanche i have 2 dd9518g's in a 6th order series bandpass box and it sounds great on music.The freqency is flat from 28hz -65hz and a slight peak at 36hz thats where i burp it.trust me if go change to6th order you will gain quite a bit.all you need isto port the small sealed box.make a large port area opening and you can start playing with port area and port length to get what you want.Trust me you will love it more then you already do.

    I know alot of sq guys who mount subs in there doors,floor boards,firewall.If you can do it and brace it correctly it will improve your soundstage.All sound should come from the front of you in order to stage you system correctly.However,Its alot harder to get a nice enclosure in the front of the car.Look up the top sq champ Gary Biggs.His Buick regal has a subwoofer mounted in the front firewall.His car was undefeated for along time.
